This trip has definitely had its ups and downs. First we made it all the way to the top of the Eiffel Tower. The view was stupendous! At least, that's what we heard as we are far too short to see out the window. And for some reason, unbeknownst to us, we have been placed looking in the opposite direction!

Eventually we made it all the way back down to the bottom and had an opportunity to look up at where we had been. We decided that it was probably wise that we had not been able to see out the window when we were at the top. You know how queasy #3 can get.

I'm not sure if it was the ride to the top of the tower or the ridiculous traffic but #3 became a wee bit carsick as we made our way to the restaurant for dinner.

So in order to settle our stomachs after all that driving around in circles we ordered a bottle of wine but you know how poorly #2 holds his alcohol. Before we knew it he was completely tipsy.

And I mean that in the most literal sense.

This type of behavior is completely inappropriate for men of our stature (and I'm not talking about height here dear landlady. I'm talking about our being known as "wise.")

Rest assured, I do plan on having a talk with him when we return to the room.

So we ordered some food to absorb the fine French vino!

It's at times like these that arms would definitely come in handy....

We are very grateful that the day is ending. As delighted as we are for having seen the Eiffel Tower we are in need of rest. Tomorrow we will be heading out on the train to Normandy to see an ancient site of deep spiritual significance. Until then, Bonne Nuit!
